A free world’s next generation weeps confused and divided. A fetus sleeps outside its host, exposed. Older stepsiblings regurgitate the stories our elders told and pass security along in hand-me-down flags turned blankets against the cold. It’s world war again. And Salvation is doing nothing to stop it.
